Choose an output
By default an alpha-edged bitmap is created by cutting out, but's possible
to change the Output Type prior to selecting areas for
keeping/discarding.
The choice you make really depends on the picture. A vector-edged
bitmap is better for cutting out pictures with well defined edges.
Zoom into your image to examine its edges; this may influence the
output type chosen.
Selecting areas to keep or discard
A pair of brushes for keeping and discarding is used to "paint" areas of
the image. The tools are called Keep Brush and Discard Brush, and are
either used independently or, more typically, in combination with each
other. When using either tool, the brush paints an area contained by an
outline which is considered to be retained or discarded (depending on
brush type). A configurable number of pixels adjacent to the outline area
are blended.
To select image areas for keeping/discarding:
1. In Cutout Studio, click either
Keep Brush Tool or
Discard Brush Tool from the left of the Studio workspace.
